“…Portanto, a termografia, além da aplicação médica, pode servir como um instrumento importante no acompanhamento do treinamento esportivo, por possibilitar a verificação da região corporal com maior gasto energético após a execução de um exercício 32 . Arfaoui et al 32 estudaram o resultado da temperatura corporal após um atleta realizar quatro tiros de 100 metros, sendo cada tiro de um estilo diferente (borboleta, costas, peito e crawl). Com os resultados, conseguiu verificar a região corporal com maior temperatura após cada tiro 2 .…”

RESUMOA termografia médica infravermelha é um instrumento de análise não invasiva e não radioativa, capaz de analisar funções fisiológicas relacionadas com o controle da temperatura da pele. A termografia detecta a luz infravermelha emitida pelo corpo e visualiza mudanças de temperatura corporal relacionadas à alteração no fluxo sanguíneo. Não é um método que mostra anormalidades anatômicas, porém é capaz de mostrar mudanças fisiológicas. Existem várias aplicações da termografia no campo da medicina: desordens neurológicas, reumatológicas, musculares, doenças vasculares, patologias urológicas, ginecológicas, ortopédicas e na medicina esportiva. Para todas as áreas médicas, a termografia está estabelecida como uma medida que proporciona um mapeamento visual da distribuição da temperatura da pele. A termografia não deve ser usada como ferramenta diagnóstica única. Exames clínicos devem ser realizados para interpretação dos termogramas. Nas aplicações médicas, esta técnica proporciona, somente, uma imagem da distribuição da temperatura da pele; não é capaz de mostrar dados de uma superfície profunda do corpo, como é possível por outros exames de imagem. Entretanto, é um método não-invasivo e objetivo, além de seguro e inofensivo. Na medicina do esporte, o uso da termografia pode proporcionar melhores resultados aos atletas por ser um instrumento na identificação de riscos e na prevenção de lesões, além de ser uma importante ferramenta no acompanhamento do treinamento esportivo, a partir da avaliação da quantificação da carga de trabalho.Descritores: raios infravermelhos; reprodutibilidade dos testes; medicina esportiva/métodos; termografia/métodos. ABSTRACT Medical infrared thermography is a non-invasive, non-radioactive detection tool that is capable of analyzing physiological functions related to skin temperature control. Thermography detects infrared light emitted by the body and visualizes changes in body temperature related to changes in blood flow. It is not a method that shows anatomical abnormalities, but it is In medical applications, this technique only provides an image of the distribution of skin temperature; it is not capable of showing data for a deep surface layers of the body, as is possible with other imaging exams. However it is a non-invasive, objective method, as well as being safe and harmless. In sports medicine, the use of thermography can provide better results for athletes, as it is an instrument for identifying risks and preventing injuries, as well as an important tool for monitoring sports training, based on the evaluation of training load.

“…Infrared thermography is a non-invasive and easy-to-perform method of imaging, and it is becoming useful in different modalities of clinical medicine including sports medicine [1][2][3][4]. The aim of medical infrared thermography (MIT) use in sports medicine is not to be a substitute for clinical examination, but to enhance and support it.…”

This study was focused on the thermal mapping of skin over the selected muscle zones in two groups of elite athletes fully engaged in completely other sports performing about an hour running effort at individual AT intensity. Two groups of elite male athletes, a group of cross-country skiers (CS; N = 6) and a group of elite endurance swimmers (SW; N = 4), were investigated. Thermal images of sportsmen' body at front and from the rear were recorded before and about 1-2 min after exercise test using camera Flir Systems E60. Functional (heart rate, oxygen uptake, workload) as well as biochemical markers (activities of creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase, concentration of lactate and haemoglobin) were also assessed. The marked differentiation in skin temperature distribution in cross-country skiers and endurance swimmers subjected to the same endurance exercise on treadmill was observed. There was significant decrease in temperature in upper body temperature in CS group, while SW group revealed a significant increase in temperature of the lower limbs. The calculated total body skin temperature was also influenced by practicing training of elite athletes. Some significant correlations of physiological, biochemical and morphological parameters (% fat) with average temperature after exercise test were found for different muscle zones in swimmers and cross-country skiers. Statistical analysis showed that workload had the most impact on skin temperature changes, especially in swimmers. The results provide additional information on the muscle work in the different sport disciplines and may be helpful in efficiency evaluation of elite athletes.

“…Part of the heat produced during the exercise is given off by the skin through a complex thermoregulation process, resulting in an increase of skin temperature [4] and maintaining the central temperature close to 37.5ºC [5]. Infrared thermography can be used to analyse the thermoregulation process, giving insight on the dissipation process of heat produced by muscular activity [6]. A low number of investigations have attempted to assess the skin temperature of swimmers or the effects of different swimming techniques in the Tsk distribution of swimmers.…”

This study experimentally investigated the possible relationship between energy expenditure and skin temperature during 2x 300m protocols (front crawl and backstroke), performed at the same intensity and velocity, in two national level male swimmers. Both swimming techniques increased skin temperature but with different thermal patterns. Higher values of energy expenditure during the 300m backstroke test were found comparing with the values obtained for the same distance performed in front crawl and higher difference between skin temperatures values were associated with lower energy expenditure values.
